Proposing this book as an exhibition piece was something I've had the intention of doing for a while now. My idea was that the book would be the central focus of the exhibition, but posters would be made from images and quotes used within the publication and from the interviews. I did want a central advertising poster for the exhibition however, to use on the majority of advertising.
I thought about using the title alone, but I wanted show some of the imagery used within the publication. I think it makes the advertising more engaging, and speaks more clearly about the content of the exhibition.
When it came to choosing the image, I did already have one in mind. My interview with M really struck me as one that stood out, and her parting statement really left an imprint in my mind. "For me, the most prized thing about being a woman is knowing that I am living true." It really encompassed something powerful and proud that I felt I wanted the exhibition as a whole to encompass.
I made the image yellow to fit in with the spotlight colour of the book and to stand out rather than keep it black and white. Also adding in the V&A logo to make it look more realistic.
